The mug shot, from it’s earliest beginnings in the mid 19th Century, attempted to provide a unique identification of a criminal suspect. Rogues’ Galleries were established in major police departments and various attempts were made to catalog and classify these photographs.
To Celebrate their 2nd birthday Gorker Gallery is proud to present ‘The Forty Thieves 3: The Third Offense’ group exhibition, the third installment of their popular annual group exhibition series ‘The Forty Thieves’. Curated by Luke Mathews and Lauren Biedrzycki, The Forty Thieves showcases an exciting line-up of forty of the best leading local and international street and fine artists, each asked to create a work on the theme of a mug shot.
